Using Nighthawk web app to turn off wireless radios

I'm trying to turn off the wireless radios on my CAX80 using the Nighthawk web app. The support chat system says I should go to Advanced > Setup > Wireless Setup and then "Uncheck the

Enable Wireless Router Radio checkbox for the desired band." However, there is no "Enable Wireless Router Radio" checkbox to uncheck. Can the web app still be used to disable the wireless radios on this model? Web app version is V5.1.1.8.

    You have to do that from the gateways WEB UI in a web browser.

    Or press the wifi radio button in front of the gateway for 5 seconds then release.
